‘drawing Room -Lawrence Bird MATR 2024

It is our pleasure to present new work by Lawrence Bird, part of the current Media Arts + Technology Residency OPENING FRI Mar 15, 2024.

‘drawing Room explores aspects of “Withdrawal”, the last stage of VP’s Mid-life Crisis™ to be explored this year. The project deploys an array of moving images, audio, screens and technological remnants to collapse the distance between architecture and media, imagining Poolside gallery as a ground zero for future growth – expanding outward into adjacent spaces in Artspace, the city, and the world.

MATR is designed to be a site-specific exploration of VP’s intimate Poolside Gallery where artists will have up to six weeks to develop and install a new work that responds to and utilizes the gallery’s characteristics. MATR specifically supports experimental, independent, technology-based works and we welcome submissions that focus on a large variety of mediums, approaches, and aesthetics.

The Life of a Party & Unraveling || Lee Jones & Greta Grip

It is our pleasure to share an update on Lee Jones and Greta Grip’s Media Art + Technology Residency that is wrapping up soon and will be showing from June 23 – September 15, 2023

Brady Allard-The Five Drones

The Five Drones is presented by Cluster Festival and Video Pool Media Arts Centre.
The Five Drones is an exploration of the concept of drones in modern society. The installation is inspired by the term drone–a continuous, low-pitched sound, and the various connotations of the word in popular culture. As I reflect on the world we live in, I am struck by the increasing reliance on AI, technology, and the potential consequences this may have for humanity.
